| 2011 CBHSA AGM 26th March 2011, at Kokoda Park, Norman Road, Aldinga Beach, SA 27th March 2011 - Stud Tour - Verondina Stud, Birdwood, & Billara Stud, Mt Pleasant SA. The last weekend in March 2011 was the 2011 CBHSA AGM which was a fantastic couple of days! Brenda Boaden and her friend Elizabeth travelled over from Western Australia, Amber Knapp, Arlene Sheen & Vicki Jones all travelled over from Victoria, and the South Aussies in attendance travelled from as far as Wirrulla - over on the Eyre Peninsula - towards Ceduna, Mt Pleasant and Birdwood and the areas surrounding Adelaide. A huge thankyou must go to Kirrilly and Dave for opening their house and property up to the CBHSA for the AGM and parade of horses. A huge thankyou must also go to Veronica and Berdina from Verondina Stud, Birdwood, and Bill & Barb Henderson from Billara Stud, Mt Pleasant for opening up their properties to us for a stud tour on the Sunday. The time, effort and hospitality is greatly appreciated by all. |
| The Lyndsworth Lodge team, which seems to be growing!, put on a lovely parade of horses for the members attending the AGM and family/friends who were there for the day as well. Kath Hurrell & Nikki Chadburn (Lyndsworth Lodge), along with Paige Lovell, a new CB owner, and Kirrilly Timmins (Kokoda Park - the host of the meeting/parade) presented 5 horses for the crowd to see. CM Desert Dreams - a 16 month old gelding, owned by Paige Lovell (purchased from Kalgary Stud who have been looking after him for the last 9 months) was first out to be shown off. Dreamy had attended his first show the week before and received a 1st, 2nd, and Reserve Champion for his efforts - Paige was understandably thrilled, as were the Lyndsworth Lodge girls who prepped him, Kalgary Stud and CM Sporthorses! |
| Below you can see Alan from the UK, and Garth Hurrell watching the horses are they are paraded in front of them. They are obviously enoying the view - and whats not to enjoy? Lovely horses! |
| Above Left is CM Independant Miss - the second youngster presented. Indy and Dreamy are both by Billara Beersheba, however Indy is out of a 3/4 CB mare herself, so of course is 3/4 CB, 1/4 TB. CM Independant Miss is being shown by Lyndsworth Lodge and has done superbly throughout her first show season - 2010 - and the first two shows of 2011 she attended, constantly being placed Supreme, Champion & Reserve Champion in both the CB and WB rings. Above Centre and Right is Lyndsworth with Kath Hurrell. He is now 18 yrs old and is 50% CB by Gillshaw Caliph out of a small TB mare. Left is PC Reznor with Nikki Chadburn - he is by Sandgate Reznor out of a small TB mare, and is 25% CB. He is also pictured below right with Nikki. |
| At left is Kirrilly on her lovely gelding, Verondina Papaweo - who is by Wetherby Alpheratz out of a TB mare. Below is Paige Lovell with her boy, CM Desert Dreams, with Gary and Kathy Macfarlane from Kalgary Stud, Wirrulla, SA. |
| Above and Below: Look Ma - No Hands! Nikki on Lyndsworth showing just how its done! At right: You can see why these horses are fantastic on the hunt field! |
| At Right is Paige Lovell with her boy CM Desert Dreams, with Kath Hurrell - from Lyndsworth Lodge, and Michelle & Craig Coburn from CM Sporthorses - Dreamys breeders. Left: Verondina Monday's Grace with young Lachlan onboard - this was his third ride on Grace, |
| which was very brave of him in front of an audience - this was the first stop of the day on the 27th - at Verondina Stud, Birdwood. Lachlan looked like a pro up there on Grace, and we look forward to hearing how they go in the future! Mum, Veronica, hopped on Verondina Vivachi (right) and showed us what he can do. |
| The lovely boy sitting down in the photo above Veronica on Archie is Dante - he is a 50% CB gelding, and he is having a smooch with Veronicas youngest son above right, and the youngun is leading "Harry" in the photo at right. These pics just show how lovely these horses are - not fussed about how little their handlers are! |
| The two images directly above are of the purebred CB stallion, Billara Alfredo, who is by Wetherby Alpheratz (the lovely dark bay boy pictured Right). Alfredo is owned by Verondina Stud, and he is the sire of the 3/4 CB filly below, Alodia, who is owned by Kerry Jervis (pictured above centre with Alex Hill who owns the gelding below centre, out of a Purebred mare, by an Anglo Arabian Stallion.) |
| Above you can see Amber, from Victoria, giving Alphy a much appreciated scratch... He just lapped up the attention as usual, and was such a 'big wild beastie' that he 'put up with' (cough - demanded!) attention from everyone who was there. After Alphy was stood up for a couple of photographs, Craig Coburn was asked to get him to trot - which did not succeed, Bill Henderson (his owner) gave it a shot - and that didnt work either! A mare was brought out and his interest was caught and THEN we got some action! (Not a LOT of it, but it was there - these CBs cant expend too much energy if its not needed!) |
| Above you can see those at Billara Stud for the day admiring the purebred Cleveland Bay mares. There are three lovely girls - Wetherby Cambridge, Billara Alice and Billara Blossom. Blossom is pictured above in the group photo and at right. She is the youngest of the girls and is out of Alice by Alphy. At left is the gorgeous big bottom of Billara Alice. Below and Below right is the gorgeous old girl, Wetherby Cambridge. |
| Above left is Barb Henderson with her gorgeous girl, Billara Fair Play, who is quite a successful Dressage horse. She is a half CB mare. |
| The lovely big boy above with the star, is an 8 yr old gelding by Wetherby Alpheratz. His owner, Heather, won the service for Alphy |
